Getting started

Go to "Manage My Booking" and enter your British Airways booking reference and last name into the "Online check-in" section.

Now select "Start Check-in".

Flight and passenger details

Now you'll see the list of flights for everyone in your booking departing within the next 24 hours.

For up to nine people on the same booking you can check-in online. For ten or more people you will need to Check-in at a Kiosk in the airport.

Advance Passenger Information (API) is required by most countries. If you do not see this step when you are checking in online, your details may already be in the booking or you are travelling to or from a country that doesn't require API.

Select number of bags

If you want to increase your allowance, you save money if you buy extra baggage online through Manage My Booking before you check in.

Don’t forget:

You can pay to increase your baggage allowance through Manage My Booking before you check-in online. You will save money on our airport prices by planning ahead and taking advantage of our online discount.

Now you need to confirm you have read and understood the unattended baggage, banned and restricted items message, tick the box and select "Continue".

Confirm your seats

Now you'll see the seat you have pre-assigned or been allocated by us and you have 2 options.
